Apparently the folks over at the Coalition to Stop Gun Violence don’t seem to understand what myself and about one hundred gun bloggers did on January 8, 2012. They wanted people to light a candle “in memory of the victims of gun violence”. We chose to take it a bit further. I lit my candle… Continue reading

Some folks were having problems commenting on this (thanks for the heads-up Brigid), so I just put it into a new post. Updating this:  Via Feral Irishman, Jenyne Butterfly, pole dancer.  This woman deserves an Olympic spot.  What she does is more spectacular and shows greater strength even than the guys doing the rings.  Plus… Continue reading

Latest in my ironic existence:  I spend eleventy-million hours alphabetizing our library by author and title within author.  And the one book I want, I absolutely can’t find anywhere so I will probably have to order another one since it’s the middle book of a series.  And because this has put me in unusual frame… Continue reading

Hopefully this Indiana state rep will soon be standing elsewhere than in the statehouse.  Indiana State Rep. Craig Fry basically told one of his constituents to piss off and stop trying to act like he’s supposed to be listening to his constituents.  Apparently Mr. Fry has been ‘serving’ a bit too long and has forgotten… Continue reading

The greatest trick the Liberals ever played was convincing the American public that we’re a democracy and not a Republic.  And yes, I’m paraphrasing from “The Usual Suspects“.  I was speaking with someone yesterday who was not born nor raised here about the city of Chicago and how I feel that it is a drain… Continue reading

So screaming from the yahoo headlines this morning is “Outrage over Indian islands ‘human zoo“.  Anthropologists and other ‘rights’ organizations are having a collective apoplectic fit over a primitive tribe’s women being bribed into dancing naked in exchange for food.  And it is abhorrent, no mistake. But UN ‘peacekeepers’ have also been doing this same… Continue reading

Via Say Uncle, Weerd Beard has started a meme in response to the anti-2nd amendment folks’ contention that gun control=less violence.  Of course this is in complete contradiction to the facts, which show that places with less gun control actually have less violence, especially gun violence.  I’m not a photographer, but here’s mine. Continue reading

Borepatch has a couple of posts up about trains.  Got a couple songs going through my head.  My dad worked on the railroad as a young man and I have a railroad key that he gave me on my keychain.  The words to ‘Casey Jones’ aren’t quite the same as what I remember, but it’s… Continue reading

RIP Grandfather.  KIA 7-Jan-1944.   I never met you but have a feeling that we would have had a lot in common. Continue reading

An Indiana republican from Evansville wants to make it illegal to sing the National anthem ‘inappropriately’.  While it makes my skin crawl to hear the National anthem slaughtered by some diva (and Roseanne Barr’s performance was a disgusting piece of work), I don’t think that making it illegal is the way to go on this. … Continue reading
